I was preparing to order another batch of the 2 slightly different size MERV-8 filters I use in the summertime to either side of my HRV core, in order to keep the pollen, silt particles, etc., out of the core for better functioning and easier cleaning through the year, and I discovered that I still had one box each of the 2 different size filters on a corner shelf in the basement, which was way cool.
With shipping increases over the last several years, and the filters costing a bit more with each passing order, as well as coming all the way from the southern Midwest, that will be a sizable savings.
I guess previous over-estimations of needs and some unintended but functional hoarding paid off... again. Like finding that last package of halibut or ribeye steaks in the upright freezer, when one is excavating for mere hamburger or chicken.
Maybe I'll go ahead and throw in an order for 4-6 of the custom size MERV-8 pre-filters for my custom carbon box in the shop, in anticipation of finally doing something again in the grow boxes. Though it would've been more helpful or convenient to have started that room back up in the winter, when it would've added heat to the basement and humidity to the whole house.

I like that description a lot.
Function is important.
The disturbing ipad ad. Apple crushing creativity. They have apologized . . .
sounds like he needs a dose of paranoia to me. i used to be more trusting too, until a relative tried to burglarize our house, and i caught long-time friends lifting old pocketknives.
now i try to live by the old newsmans credo - "if your mother tells you that she loves you, check it out..." admittedly, i'm NOT as happy-go-lucky as i once was.

That's 5 discontinued aircraft, worth 35 each, for 135 each. Nearly 5x too much.
They want these 7-10yo craft, in connection with the new flying doomsday fleet. The command centers, for after the ground based one's are destroyed. A $13 billion contract, that presumably has a lot of cream to take off the top. Well, that's half a billion sorted.

There were just two more Boeing 737 accidents reported; a 300 series and an 800 series, if I recall correctly.
And another whistle-blower has stepped up re. hundreds of defects not reported formally on many of the fuselages he saw.
Considering the 'self-destructive tendencies' of the last two whistle-blowers to tattle on Boeing, I'm thinking some additional life insurance might be in order for the guy, just in case he suddenly becomes suicidal.
Of course, in Alaska (as an example), a person has to have owned the life insurance policy for 2 years for it to pay off in the case of suicide.

These are the 800. It's 4 engines offer some redundancy, but the extra servicing costs made it unpopular.
It's very early in the plans, to be spending an excess 500 million, on a 175 million deal. They are still building hangers for them. It's simple rationing to suggest 10 of the 13 billion is going to get lost along the way.
That money could buy some nice new things, so the old stuff can be given to the Ukraine, on the tab. As that is how it works. Old stuff gets given away, and it's performance monitored in action. Then new stuff formulated for your own military. Like the system being bolted to tanks, that flings metal at incoming threats. Having already targeted the origin with the big guns. Which can be better seen with the new night vision optics, that make fighting at night a better prospect for us, than them. All advances born from the latest war, and paid for with the budget we assign to having given Ukraine. Who actually get the old stuff. Which seems to be a story lost on many.

We nearly went to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada area to pick up an adult male Belgian Malinois this last winter.
Then I decided I'm too old and less active for this kind of responsibility.
But man, they are an amazing breed if you're energetic, self-disciplined, and want a super-dog that can do things seldom considered. Like, gravity and fear don't register.
